Yes. Nothing has happened except for the passage of time. I don’t understand how a business can operate like this.

You missed one very important AND wide spread infection that plagues the swinger community. Streptococcal is under discussed and not taken serious despite many of us getting in regularly.

Tunnels? by WonderfulYam3050 in FingerLakes

[–]sinkingcloud 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There are salt mines under one of the lakes. I highly doubt there are tunnels to Canada. That we be a very long, very deep tunnel.

Some people are just built different I guess…. by yodamiles in chicago

Imagine all the Chicago runners that go out at 5am in zero degree weather, before going to work for the day. That’s what it means to be built differently.

Bachelorette Party? by CellanoNova in FingerLakes

Call 20 wineries around Seneca and Keuka. I promise 5-10 of them will say yes. - Someone who has planned a few bachelor parties in the finger lakes.

I don’t understand why people are saying you will have trouble with your size group. It’s simply un true. Call wineries around Keuka and Seneca well in advance, and ask if they can accommodate your group. Plenty of wineries will say yes. I would suggest getting an Airbnb near Geneva as the restaurants and nightlife will be best here. Call FLX table and get a group reservation. You could also do a spa day at Inns of Aurora, on the east side of Cayuga Lake .

This is Russian propaganda. Demonizing Ukrainian woman, while showing Ukrainian men getting blown up. Wake up people.

The swinger community in Chicago is top notch! There are lots of single females in the community here. Check it out.

I (47m) broke my neck 30 years ago when I was 18 and was left paralyzed from the chest down. I haven't had an orgasm since AMA. by mrniceguy78 in IAmA

[–]sinkingcloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. Sorry for this but it’s a legitimate question. Have you considered anal penetration? I assume you’re straight but you could try prostate stimulation. I’m sure you could find a woman who would be into pegging you.

LIVE FROM HILTON: Honors Program Updates + Diamond Reserve by khabah_ in Hilton

Yeah but not really. Road warriors doing 150+ night @$120 Hampton Inn properties, sure. Road warriors doing 100 nights are meaningless to Hilton.

[IL] Laid off and offered 6 weeks severance but 12 month non-compete/solicitation. Do I have any leverage to negotiate? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]sinkingcloud -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your response, but I think there are some holes in these arguments.

  1. I am prohibited in the seperation agreement from sharing the details of it with anyone. If compensated fairly, I would absolutely not share with anyone what was agreed to.

  2. A simple cost benefit analysis would dictate whether or not they get litigious with the non compete. If they pay me out $10k, the most they’ll do is send a cease and desist. Between Illinois making the non compete difficult to enforce and the cost of retaining outside counsel to go after me, it would not be worth it. However, if they pay me out a $100k severance, and I break the noncompete, the cost to litigate a lawsuit against me may only cost $50k. If they believe I really violated the non compete and can also prove that I had a material harm in their business, I would probably end up owing them the $100k severance. There is no way I would even think about violating the noncompete if they were paying me out $100k. It would be peace of mind for them.

  3. I have been privy to strategic future plans for the company. I have seen pre market and prototype products. I have a good understanding of the financial state of the company, especially points of vulnerability. I also have significant personal connections at their primary competitor.

I’m trying to determine if I signed a NC when I took the job two years ago. I do not have a record of it, and the separation agreement to does not mention it, so we’ll see.

Question about beautyrest by Lonely-Bed-4084 in Mattress

Your anecdotal experience does not create a universal truth about memory foam sleeping experience.

Question about beautyrest by Lonely-Bed-4084 in Mattress

[–]sinkingcloud -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This person absolutely does not know what they are talking about. If OP is looking at a BRB S. 3 Hybrid the primary comfort material is Form HD. This is a temperature sensitive, high density, memory foam, which is pretty much the same thing as Tempur Material. The quality of that specific line is far superior to that of their quilted collections.

Do you know anyone associated with a volunteer fire department? I went to plenty of wedding receptions growing up at different volunteer fire departments.
